RIP
The Router supports the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP allows
you to set up routing information on one RIP enabled device, and have
that routing information replicated to all RIP enabled devices on the
network. LAN and WAN interfaces can be configured independently of
each other.
Select the RIP tab from the Advanced > Routing sub-menu to display the
screen shown in Figure 58
